Homemaking for Dummies (How To Take Care Of Your Home, Even If You Suck At It)
from With All Her Mind · host Justice Kuehl
I suck at homemaking.Or at least, I used to.For years, I would see an overflowing trash can, a sink full of dishes, or a mountain of laundry and somehow…still not do anything about it. And every homemaking system I tried seemed to be designed by someone who was already naturally good at this stuff. So what do you do if you actually WANT to care for your home well…but organization, cleaning, routines, and maintenance just don’t come naturally to you?Well, after 5 years of marriage, I’ve finally figured out how to make homemaking work with my more creative, Type B brain instead of constantly trying to turn myself into a Type A person (news flash: it doesn't work).We’re talking procrastination stations, the “container rule,” decluttering without destroying your entire house in the process, and why the real answer is less about finding the perfect hack and more about building simple rhythms you can actually maintain. Your home doesn’t have to be perfect.You just need to learn how to steward what you have...even if you kind of suck at it right now.In This Episode:0:00 Being A Bad Homemaker4:43 Struggles Caused By Your Creativity8:21 Projects vs Rhythms11:30 Tip 1: Procrastination Stations14:18 Tip 2: Laundry15:13 Tip 3: Groceries16:06 Tip 4: The Container Rule19:04 Tip 5: The Anti-Marie Kondo20:29 Tip 6: Embrace Rhythms (NO HACKS!)ResourcesA Slob Comes Clean by Dana K.
